Maple Leafs sign goalie Alex Bishop to PTO, will back up Campbell tonight

Today it’s been reported that the Toronto Maple Leafs have signed University of Toronto goalie Alex Bishop to a professional try out agreement (PTO) to play back up to Jack Campbell tonight against the Ottawa Senators.

The #leafs don't have the cap space to call up a goaltender to take Petr Mrazek's spot behind Jack Campbell tonight. They will likely sign U of T goalie Alex Bishop to an amateur tryout to back up Campbell.

The thought was that Michael Hutchinson would be recalled from the Toronto Marlies, but according to CapFriendly they have $0 in cap space available, and don’t have Petr Mrazek’s cap space available from LTIR.
